In general I loved this place. Food at the vineyard was awesome but pricey. Room, was great but AC wasnt working right for me and my bro in a different room.
I will share the hotel made it up to us, but still night was hot! Will go back
Had a lovely time at this resort! Was here for a conference and everything was just fabulous. Loved my villa room and the grounds. The wine tasting room was full of amazing staff as well as the restaurant. Yes, the restaurant is on the expensive end but the food was good and the drinks were amazing! I am a dirty martini drinker and the restaurant has blue cheese stuffed olives for my martini! Amazing! A very nice stay!
We had the most amazing wedding at South Coast Winery! After visiting over ten venues across Southern California, we ultimately chose South Coast Winery, which shows just how selective we were. We wanted a stunning venue that was dog-friendly, offered outdoor ceremony and reception spaces, had on-site accommodations, and featured plenty of greenery. South Coast Winery checked all these boxes and was the clear winner for us. Four months before the wedding, we had the chance to do a tasting and select the menu and wines for our guests, and we truly felt like VIPs. The food was incredible! It was a huge plus that there's a restaurant on-site, which meant no need for a ghost kitchen or pre-cooked catering. Compared to other venues, South Coast Winery also has a reasonable food and beverage minimum (including rentals), and they even provide two suites for two nights as part of the wedding package. On the big day, everything went off without a hitch. Our South Coast coordinator, Alejandra, was fantastic and made sure everything ran smoothly. She even whisked us around in a golf cart, which saved us so much time during cocktail hour and sunset photos! The venue itself is breathtaking at any time of day--whether it's during the day, at golden hour, or at night with the string lights. The way the sun filters through to the courtyard is just perfect. The food tasted just as amazing as it did during the tasting, and many of our guests said it was the best wedding food they've ever had! Our buffet featured chicken, salmon, steak, and a prime rib upgrade. And then there were the drinks! We had an open bar, and the bartenders were fantastic. Our signature drink was a blueberry margarita, and one friend joked, "The signature drink had no business being that strong!" Let's just say everyone had a blast--maybe a little too much! Overall, I can't recommend South Coast Winery enough. The venue is stunning, the staff is exceptional, the value is unbeatable, and the food is delicious. It was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!
